  1. Here’s another thing I found about probe science - the Stanford antenna on Pioneer 6 and the dipole antenna on Alouette actually function as frequency sounder to study the electron density in ionosphere. It might be appropriate to add bd_ionelec experiment to those antennas. https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1965-105A-04 https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1962-049A-01
  2. Some issues about the OGO satellite. According to this figure on NASA documentary, the experiment boom 2 and 3 on OGO should be UHF and VHF antenna. I checked the NSSDC webpage, the charged particle experiments (on boom 3 in game) was done on the forward experiment boom, and the probe does not have gravity experiment (on boom 4 in game) onboard. However, it has a trapped radiation experiment on one of the OPEP. https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/displayExperiment.action?spacecraftId=1966-049A
  3. Not sure about the Gemini part, but it seems that the model of space shuttle rudder is missing. Go to Gamedata/Benjee10_shuttleOrbiter/Parts/ folder, see if there is a file called “OV_rudder.mu”.
  4. Everything looks fine in your picture. The enriched uranium in the reactor and container are full, so no resource transfer would happen.
  5. Are you playing with the dev branch of near future electrical or the public release? If you are using the development version, you should delete “systemheatfissionreactors” folder.
  6. It might be too early to ask this. I guess the upcoming voyager will use IRL mass, but the Centaur D/Star37 upper stage for voyager was using 25% scale. The star37 is way underpowered for an IRL scale voyager.
  7. I think the mass should be reduced as well. The gross mass of Viking orbiter/lander is around 3.4T. Using 25% scale, it should be less than 1T, but now it’s much heavier if we consider the lander.
  8. Viking orbiter uses a single RS-2101 engine derived from minuteman postboost vehicle thruster. The max thrust is 1.39kN in reality. So the TWR should be that low.
  9. Such a beautiful satellite! I wonder if you would add real Seasat 1 parts to BDB? Also, the waterfall config for Pioneer6 midcourse engine seems to be missing, could you add it to 1.13 release?
  10. Happy to see Voyager 1/2 is on the list. Would you add parts for the conceptual design of Voyager? Like the pioneer orbiter in BDB https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19750012367/downloads/19750012367.pdf
  11. Hi @CobaltWolf I know you have adopted the Viking lander model by Akron, are you continuing to finish it? Will the Viking orbiter be released alone? thanks!
